An implementation of the Gear rolling hash function.
The Gear hashing function is a fast, rolling hash function that is well suited
for content-defined chunking. It is used as a building block for the FastCDC
algorithm which is implemented by the chunk iterator (chunk::Iter) along
with the Gear hasher.
This implementation is based on the FastCDC [1] and Ddelta [2] papers.
